After leaving, Chen Lanting reminded me a few more words: "According to the observation of my subordinates, this time before Zhao Mengqing went south, he had entered the palace to see Wei Tian. Therefore, His Highness and whether he encountered a complicated situation when he went south is also strange, what purpose he went south, and what purpose he extended a helping hand to His Highness, Your Highness should have a judgment, after all, there are more than 100,000 soldiers behind you. ”

I thought about it seriously and said to him: "It turns out that Zhao Mengqing, who has been getting along with me day and night these days and has repeatedly saved me from fire and water, also has a problem." It's just that what does he want the army to do, does he want to set himself up as a king? ”

Chen Lanting couldn't figure out the tone of my words, lowered his head and said: "It may or may not be, my subordinates can't figure it out, so I hope Your Highness has a figure out about everything, and don't be deceived by the wicked." ”

I sneered and said yes.

The night shadow is like a curtain, the crescent moon is like a hook, and the cars and horses in front of the West Market are silent, not like the lively time in the daytime.

The king did not ride a horse, but walked step by step to the palace. In this long period of time, I have thought about many things and analyzed many coincidences, whether Zhao Mengqing was credible when he went south, and how this king should face the person who was waiting for me in the palace tonight.

Take the time at Dongyun Wharf not long ago, Qin Buxian handed me the river map, obviously there was no one else around us except Xu Guangguang for a period of time, but she only told me to stay at the red dot mark, and the other places were passed by speedboats, but she didn't tell me the exact point of the three catastrophes, pretending to be Xuan Xuan and let me think about it after I got on the boat.

Moreover, she took great pains to leave a message to tell me that the danger was in Lingtai, Luochang, and Yuzhou, in order to let me avoid danger, or to lead me into danger?

Zhao Mengqing came to Luochang to save me or did I want to save the soldiers behind me? Did he let me keep Wei Tian's life after I succeeded, so that he would not lose the satisfaction of his youthful success, or was it to save Wei Tian's life and try to start again in the future?

These things are really worth scrutinizing.

When I returned to the palace, the main hall was dyed, and a white figure was lying on the table, Qin Buxian, who was waiting for me to come back. Hearing my footsteps, she straightened up in a daze, rubbed her eyes vigorously to sober herself up for a few moments, and then said shallowly, "You're back." ”

Ben sat down across from her, touched the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. This tea has been brewed for too long, it is bitter and cold, and as soon as it enters my throat, I am trembling.

Seeing this, Qin Buxian reached over and touched the teapot, and said in surprise: "Hmm, I obviously remember that I just changed the hot water, why is it cold again...... What time is it, I'm oversleeping, am I? ”

I tried my best to put on a gentle and considerate appearance so that she could see the difference: "It's the king who is not good, and he came back too late." ”

She rolled her eyes, looked sly, and teased me: "Your Highness still knows that it is too late to come back?" I've already heated the dish several times. He put his hand on the plate containing the fish and tested the temperature, his face full of regret, "Okay, this fish is cold too." ”

The fish is also cold. When I heard this, I couldn't help but sweat down my spine, and then I sighed: this king has reached such a point.

But Chen Lanting's words still sounded in his ears-

Your Royal Highness, I forgive your subordinates for reminding us that when Gonggong Lu was given death, we have fallen into a very passive position; This time, General Xu was killed, and we are no different from the fish and meat on the case.

At the beginning, you should have been ruthless and firmly controlled Qin Buxian, and took advantage of the matter of Donglizhi to knock Wei Tian down. We've missed the perfect time, and if you don't do it, we'll never be able to do it.

So, I grabbed Qin Buxian's hand that was about to be withdrawn from the plate, stared at her extraordinarily beautiful but breathtaking peach blossom eyes, and asked, "Envy, have you seen Xu Guangguang recently, why didn't this king come back to see him come to the palace this time?" ”

At that time, I hope she can give me a true answer, I hope she can tell me the truth without hiding or hiding, even if I have heard the truth, from today onwards, the two of us will cut off each other's lines, even if we kill each other in the opposite camp in the future without mercy or blinking, this time I will let her go unharmed, and it is worthy of my love for her.

But Qin Buxian's words were far from the words I was expecting, and even burned my expectations to ashes-

"General Xu went south, you didn't meet it, did you?"

A large stream of blood gushed out of his heart, flowing all the way down, and clear lines of blood and water were smeared in the outer robe. I gasped, then let go of her hand, tugged at the corners of my lips, and said with a smile: "Yes, this king didn't meet him." ”

Qin Buxian frowned and muttered: "He said that there is a secret letter to be sent to the southern border quickly, rather than letting others rush to the southern border for eight hundred miles, there may be a mistake on the way, it is better for him to run by himself, which is more secure." ”

I picked out the loopholes in her words and shook my head: "He won't deliver it himself." ”

Qin Buxian was slightly stunned: "Why don't you send it yourself?" ”

I hooked my fingers and tapped on the edge of the table, squinting my eyes and smiling at her: "Because, the emperor named him to stay in the imperial capital with you, if he leaves, wouldn't it be disrespectful?" ”

She took this sentence seriously from her mind, and then panicked, grabbed my hand and said in a deep voice: "Wei Period, Xu Guangguang may be in danger, you should quickly get in touch with the soldiers in the south and ask about Xu Guangguang's whereabouts." ”

This king has to admire Qin Buxian, at this time, she is still acting with me, and her expression is realistic, as if she is really worried about Xu Guangguang.

Over there, not only did she not notice my abnormality, but she got up and walked around a few times, and analyzed it herself: "He was in a hurry when he came to say goodbye to me, and I also knew that the situation was urgent, but he didn't seem to be so good in spirit, and when he walked out of the palace, he also installed the door frame, which means that in addition to sending secret letters to the soldiers in the south, he should also have other concerns," he rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply, "What was I thinking at the time, why did I forget the holy decree that prevented him from leaving Beijing." ”

Her performance was too vivid, so vivid that the king couldn't stand it anymore, and just wanted to give her an award and erect a memorial arch.

But she thought of something, patted her forehead, hurriedly walked in front of me, and said with a look of sudden realization: "Was he seen by the Holy Lord, and then captured and locked up in the imperial capital?" ”

I didn't know what to say, the anger rushed to my throat, but I swallowed it again, I tried to tell myself that now was not the time for revenge, so all the bitterness was sealed in my throat, and I only let out a slight sigh, and said, "Probably, tomorrow the king will enter the palace, and I will probably know." ”

She looked at me abruptly: "Don't be too sad, maybe it's not what I thought, maybe he's safe now." ”

I nodded stiffly.

Qin Buxian sat down opposite me again, opened the lampshade, picked out the wick, and turned the candle flame brighter, it was because of this action that her face and fingers were illuminated by the candle flame warm and beautiful, as if the ethereal immortal had contaminated the light of the mortal world, leaving a beautiful and real face.

Cheng Yu didn't seem to be wrong, this king was probably really bewitched by Qin Buxian's appearance, so at this time, he still felt that she looked like a fairy.

"Qin Buxian," I pressed the position of my chest, took a deep breath and folded over Xu Guangguang's matter, "Don't you ask why this king stayed so long tonight before coming back?" ”

She glanced at me and bit her lower lip with her teeth, "I don't really want to know." ”

"Well, then I won't talk about it."

She suddenly sat upright: "By the way, do you remember what I told you during the day, I want to tell you something, it's about some things in the past, you may not remember...... But it doesn't matter, listen to me, don't interrupt me and let me finish in one sitting, or I'm afraid I'll ......"

But I'm afraid that I'm not so angry, the blood in my chest is flowing happily and wantonly, and I can't focus my eyes on her in front of me, let alone hear what she said later, my consciousness was punctured by pain, and it was scattered in pieces, I heard the sound of myself falling down, and I heard Qin Buxian exclaim, and then my mind became blank.

There are old people who come to dream.

The snow in the back mountain is patchy, the maple leaves are as red as blood, and the little girl who dug a pit to catch rabbits is wearing a heavy cotton coat, and she runs up and makes a loud noise. Even though she was very disappointed when she saw that I was not the rabbit she wanted, she still told me: "Forget it, although you are not as good as a rabbit, but if you fall into my pit, you will be considered my person, and I will not ignore you." ”

So she took off her cotton clothes and draped them over me, untied the straps that bound her hair and trapped my waist through the cotton clothes, and then pulled the hair band to lift my waist, and quickly turned around and let me lie on her thin back.

She is so thin and small, after unbuttoning the wide cotton coat, wearing a plain white skirt, the whole person seems to be thin into a shadow, the kind that can't be found in the snow.

She muttered "You're so heavy", "Why are you as heavy as a pig", "I regret it, I should have waited for the rabbit to come, a pig is not what I wanted", and tightened the headband so that I could get closer to her and put all the weight on her.

I couldn't say a word, for the first time I really felt what it was like to die, and to be compared to a pig by a little girl.

But she never let go of me, and led me down the hill step by step, during which my consciousness occasionally slowed back for a moment, and I vaguely saw that her hands were bleeding from the hairbands.

Later, I was recuperating from my wound in a certain Langzhong in the city for half a month, and she came to see me several times, mostly when I was asleep, which made me very sad, and I was always afraid that she would never come again, but I did not know her name yet, and there was nowhere to repay the kindness in the future.

Fortunately, on the day of my farewell, I saw her again, and I finally asked her name after asking all kinds of questions.

"Cheng Yu, Cheng of the future, Cheng of the encounter. It's the princess of the southern country. ”

I still had uncleaned blood scabs from the wound on the top of my head, and I couldn't see her full appearance at the time, but I could vaguely see that her hair looked beautiful in the wind.

When I was finally able to see her, I saw her curled up under the frozen river, not as pale as a living person.

This king, I owe Cheng Yu too much, so what she wants, I should not be influenced by Qin Buxian, and I will try my best to get it back for her.

……

When I woke up again, it was the early morning of the third day of the eighth month.

At that time, Qin Buxian was lying next to me and fell asleep deeply, and Xiaolan, who could give birth to divine glue, also fell asleep on the back of her hand. I lifted my shirt and saw that my chest was back to its original state, and I couldn't see any wounds.

I wanted to move out of bed unconsciously, but I still accidentally bumped into Qin Buxian's shoulder, causing her to wake up instantly.

She frowned and looked at me for a moment, then leaned against the edge of the bed and said in a cold tone, "How did this wound of yours crack?" Did you go to the fight that night for the sake of your sweetheart? ”

I thought about it for a while, and I didn't know what kind of expression to make, so I could only smile briskly and say, "So you guessed right." ”

She lowered her head, put Xiaolan in the celadon cup, and then quickly got up and walked out without looking back.

I chased her to the door and stopped her, and deliberately said, "Envy, are you jealous?" ”

She looked at me expressionlessly, "No, it's just that I feel sorry for Xiaolan, in less than a month, it has made up the glue for you twice, the last time it took three hours, this time it took a day and a night, it is actually exhausted and can't produce so much glue, but it still tries its best to stop the blood in your heart." Dear His Royal Highness King Chong'an, if you don't cherish your body, you have to think about Xiaolan. ”

I bowed my head and said reverently to the celadon cup: "Xiaolan, this king is sorry for you. He shook Qin Buxian's wrist again, and apologized guiltily, "This king is also sorry for you, you have been busy all afternoon, and you haven't eaten any of the dishes you cooked." Suddenly she remembered that she had something to tell me about the past, and asked, "What are you going to tell me?" I accidentally fainted that night, otherwise you can talk about it now, and this king will listen to it? ”

Hearing this, Qin Buxian's slender eyelashes trembled, then he shook his head and said in disappointment: "I changed my mind." ”

But the king was interested: "What the hell is going on?" ”

She pulled her wrist out of my palm, her fingers touched the center of my eyebrows, and the slightly cool touch seeped into the altar, making the place dull and clear, "Wait for those things to emerge here, and let nature be the best way to tell the story." ”

I don't know, "What do you mean?" ”

She pointed to the neatly stacked official robes on the side of the bed: "When you were asleep, Lord Zhao came to look for you, and he said that if you can wake up today, you will send someone to inform him, and he will take Luochang's Lu Shuyuan to see the emperor, so that you can listen to Lu Shuyuan's confrontation with Gao Shu and Li Jingtang." ”

I patted my head: "Hey, thanks to Zhao Mengqing's reminder, otherwise this king would have fallen asleep on this important matter." ”
